Mercedes-Benz Malaysia partners with DC Handal to expand EV charging network at Bamboo Hills

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia today announced a strategic partnership with DC Handal, a Malaysian provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and energy solutions, to launch a new EV charging hub at Bamboo Hills, Kuala Lumpur. The initiative marks a significant milestone in the brand’s efforts to strengthen its nationwide charging infrastructure while supporting Malaysia’s transition towards sustainable mobility.

The Bamboo Hills charging hub was delivered in collaboration with Hap Seng Star, one of Mercedes-Benz Malaysia’s key retail partners, as part of the company’s ongoing plan to broaden charging access in partnership with its retail network. By placing charging facilities at high-traffic lifestyle destinations such as Bamboo Hills, the brand is enhancing accessibility and convenience for EV owners. Having partnerships already established with leading operators including JomCharge, ChargeEV, Gentari, and P.UP, the Bamboo Hills now becomes the sixth Mercedes-Benz branded charging location in the country under this strategy.

"With Bamboo Hills, we are accelerating the charge, bringing our electric vehicle owners closer to an era where performance, innovation, and sustainability converge. This collaboration with DC Handal and Hap Seng Star reflects our strategic commitment to enhancing the Mercedes-Benz EV ecosystem in Malaysia, ensuring that every vehicle is supported by a robust and intelligent charging infrastructure. This initiative also reflects Mercedes-Benz Malaysia’s alignment with the brand’s global Ambition 2039 strategy, which charts the course toward sustainable mobility.”

The Bamboo Hills hub is part of a wider charging ecosystem that extends from residential installations and retail outlets to selected lifestyle destinations and mobile charging services. This expansion is designed to integrate electric mobility seamlessly into the Mercedes-Benz ownership journey, providing convenient access to charging while enhancing the overall customer experience.
